IIRC, the format people discussed was something like...

1) Overview -- the general guidebook stuff.
2) Underview -- the freaky and/or cool stuff that generally only locos
(oops!  I mean "locals") know about.
3) UAnything -- suggestions for UA games.  All this would be off canon,
pretty much by necessity.  Otherwise, the editing/continuity chores become
pretty vicious.

This struck me as being a really top-notch way to do it.
